charming performances, the film is a must watch for fans of The
Karate Kid

Ninjas
film franchises that are looking for something new and fun they can
enjoy with the whole family. For being a low budget film, it has

The Dove Foundation, not to mention high performance at several film
festivals.

Kathryn Newton, Matthew Ziff, and TJ Storm. The film is written by
Adam W. Marsh and Michael Baumgarten and produced by James Wilson and
Cheryl Wheeler.
Robbie
(Panettiere) is a troubled teen from Ohio who is always getting into
trouble and breaking the heart of his poor grandmother. Hoping to
correct his behavior, he is sent to Florida to live with his Aunt
Cindy (Rothrock) and Uncle Glen (Wilson), both whom own and operate a
successful karate dojo and give lessons. Enrolled in a new school
and not quite comfortable in his surroundings, Robbie finds himself
smitten with a cute blonde named Rina (Newton) but quickly gets in a
brawl with her boyfriend Bo (Matthew Ziff) just for talking to her
and loses. Observing his Aunt and Uncle in action, he soon becomes
enthralled with the world of martial arts and begins vigorous
training. Will he be able to learn the art of martial arts, beat Bo,
and win the heart of the one he loves? You'll have to watch The
Martial Arts Kid
to find out!
